No, due to the way that duplicate files are pooled with hardlinks, backuppc must store everything on a single filesystem and additional copies do not consume additional space - so there is no reason to do that from a storage perspective. However, from discussions on the mail list, I believe that there are people who swap/rotate the entire archive drive daily or weekly, letting it catch up after each swap, and others have various schemes to image-copy the filesystem with raid or lvm mirroring to get offsite copies. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
